Former Member

Hello

I made my project on vivado 2015.3 then export the project to sdk.

I downloaded the predefined Bsp file Petalinux2014.4 Board Support Package for the Avnet/Digilent Zedbard .BSP
from the following link
http://www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.html/content/xilinx/en/downloadNav/embedded-design-tools/2014-4.html

Can anyone explain or Any tutorial which show how can i add this BSP in my project so that I can make FSBL for my project.

I am using windows 7 machine

    Umer,

      PetaLinux requires a Linux host to operate, you cannot use it on a Windows 7 host natively.  To begin, you need to download the PetaLinux tool chain from Xilinx and install it on a Linux host.  If you do not have a separate Linux machine, you can download VirtualBox and create a Linux Virtual Machine on your Windows 7 host.  There are instructions on Zedboard.org under the Mini-ITX reference designs for installing VirtualBox and Linux.  For instructions on using the PetaLinux toolchain, see UG1144 and UG1156 from Xilinx.

    A PetaLinux project is based on the hardware description file exported from Vivado.  You can create a Petalinux project from scratch, and import the hdf file, which generates the BSP (including the FSBL) for your software design.  No use of the SDK is needed.  If you are using a BSP, the hdf has already been imported, and you can build a working software design for the target immediately (or use the pre-built files in the BSP to validate your hardware setup).

    One other note, you should match the version of PetaLinux to the version of Vivado you are working with.  PetaLinux is released every 6 months, on even releases, so if you are using Vivado 2015.3, you should be using the tool chain and BSPs for PetaLinux 2015.2.  Older versions might work, but you are just introducing additional complexity that could cause you grief in your development.

    Hello again
    As you suggested I moved from windows to ubuntu.
    I installed following softwares
    1.vivado 2015.2
    2.petalinux-v2015.2.1
    3.Avnet-DIgilent-Zedboard-V2015.2.1.bsp

    but I want to make my own Bsp,  I export the hardware to SDK. 
    after that add the following repositories from the menu
    xilinx tools
    /opt/petalinux-v2015.2.1/components/edk_user_repositotry
    But it give me devicetree as OS platform not petalinux.
    where I am doing mistake??
    thanks
